What “The Bulldog” Trey Gowdy Just Said About Benghazi Could Mean The End For Obama

Trey Gowdy, the head of a House special committee on Benghazi, has said he will press ahead with his investigation–despite the findings of a different committee supposedly debunking conspiracies surrounding the Benghazi incident.

Gowdy said on a hearing Wednesday: “We may answer some [questions] more than once. I would rather answer a question twice than risk not answering it at all. That would seem a rather small investment.”

Furthermore, he said that monthly public hearings would be held during early 2015 until a full understanding of the events surrounding Benghazi is reached.

The explanation that Obama administration officials have offered concerning Benghazi, namely that a spontaneous protest was sparked by an anti-Muhammad video, has been refuted already.

Gowdy and other Republicans have suggested that the administration always knew it was a terrorist attack and refused to say so because that would tarnish the administration’s reputation.

Representative Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland), though, has called the House intelligence committee hearings the “definitive House statement” on US intelligence activities regarding the attacks and has said:

“When it comes to Benghazi, too many people are unaware that questions have been answered or are unwilling to accept the answers they hear. Our committee’s Democratic members have urged [Gowdy] to review and accept these findings, as we do not think that there is any reason for this committee to reinvestigate these facts … and squander millions of additional taxpayer dollars in the process.”

What do you think? Is it time to stop the investigation into Benghazi?
